Nelson-Mandela-Park, Public park in Schwachhausen district, Bremen, Germany
Description
The Nelson-Mandela-Park is a public green area in Schwachhausen district, stretching between Gustav-Deetjen-Allee and Blumenthalstraße. It features winding walking paths, benches, and several memorial sites that visitors encounter as they move through the space.
History
The site originated as part of the Bremer Bürgerweide, serving as public grazing land from 1030 onwards and formally recognized by the Bremer Weidebrief in 1159. Over centuries, it transformed into an urban green space with memorial importance.
Culture
The Elephant sculpture serves as the park's focal point, symbolizing a stand against colonial practices through its transformation into a memorial. Visitors gather around this central artwork, which has become an important gathering place for reflection and community events.
Practical
The park is easily accessible and well-laid out with clear pathways for exploration. A drinking water fountain near the Elephant sculpture provides refreshment during warm weather.

The Mahnmal Ohamakari memorial comprises 350 red sandstone stones arranged to honor those who died in the Namibian genocide against the Herero and Nama peoples. This quiet installation carries profound historical weight within the park's landscape.
